In the LS world the symptoms you have are similar to the crankshaft position sensor not working properly.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think I have it traced to the relay that powers the coils and injectors, the ECU then switches the ground to pulse them. I think I either didn't wire the power supply and ground to the relay correctly, or the relay is faulty. I went through the datalog and it has good cam and crank position info so I think I am ok there.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
No progress on the Buick yet but I did have some fun with other projects. I worked with my brother to unload his Essex truck and put it into storage. He was working on it for a while but with a growing family he needed more space. The new project was a 1949 Olds, we cleaned it out, and changed out the rear end. His plans are a SBC, 700R4, and air ride suspension. I also worked on finishing the inside of my shop with insulation and drywall. It is a ton of work to do the 16' walls by yourself off a ladder but I am making some decent progress. Winter is coming before we know it so I want to be prepared with insulated walls and a heater.
Everything is awesome in these posts man, I love it. What's your plan for insulating the ceiling?

Be brave and strap, insulate and drywall it myself. I am going to build a 8'x8' work platform out of wood (with handrails) on casters that I can move around and be able to reach safely.
renting scaffolding might be cheaper, have you seen the price of lumber?

I just picked up a set of scaffolding for $100 to work on my shop so I share your pain.
I know right.... Sorry about the vertical camera work... I didn't even realize it until I was editing it and felt lots of shame.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I couldn't find any scaffold that was tall enough and big enough to feel comfortable 10' up without wobbling. How tall was yours?
Mine goes over 12 feet. Its a interesting fold up scaffolding setup and probably measures 5x7. The legs slide in and can add additional height.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I will put a video together and send it your way as I got a lot of lights to hang.
What lights are you installing?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
As the space I'm working with is about 14 wide by 23 long with vaulted 15 foot ceilings I'm going to put 4 of these in first https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01HBT3BVM/ , and if I don't find its enough (which it probably won't be I'm going to get these https://www.amazon.ca/Lightdot-Mount...432778&sr=8-16This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

How will you secure the cords between the linked lights? My lights are 4' fixtures with 5' cords between them. I am mounting them directly to the ceiling and then using wire staples to hold the linking cords to the ceiling. It looks ok.... I was debating drilling holes in the drywall and routing the cords up inside the ceiling?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I have been given the advice that you will always be wanting more light so I am going big with 24 of these lights in a 1900ft2 area.
My ceiling already has 4 normal bulb sockets so I purchased a bunch of light bulb socket to plug adapters and just going to plug them inThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But yeah... you will always hear people say I wish I had more light.
More light is best light. Can always have it as several banks and turn some off when you don't need it all. But working in dim light is unpleasant, and there's no excuse these days.

Any updates on your project car?
No progress lately. I will be doing some more soon though since I have my lift assembled.
The Buick is so close to starting! Final few wrinkles being worked out. Every fluid went in, every fluid leaked, every leak was fixed..

I had Fuel leaks(loose AN), Power steering fluid (PTFE AN wasn't seated right), Brake fluid leaking until i got green line to flare me lines, and Coolant all leaking at some point.. Only thing that didn't leak for me was oilThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
